Background: Pentosidine, one of the advanced glycation end products (AGE), is generated by nonenzymatic glycation and oxidation of proteins. The receptor of AGE (RAGE) is expressed in a variety of tissue, and interaction of AGE with RAGE induces oxidative stress and activation of intracellular signaling, causing production of cytokines and mediators of inflammation. We investigated whether serum pentosidine is a risk factor for heart failure.Methods and Results: Serum pentosidine concentration was measured in 141 patients with heart failure and 18 control subjects by a competitive enzyme-linked immumosorbent assay. Patients were prospectively followed during a median follow-up period of 479 days with end points of cardiac death or rehospitalization. Serum concentration of pentosidine was significantly higher in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III/IV patients than in NYHA class I/II patients (P
